Inference from playing time suggests that Hamilton is really bad at controlling passing lanes as he does not get put out on the PK.

Pretty sure that would be a bad guess.
Underlying stats that do exist, including from that same Corsica site have Hamilton 4th in the league in expected % of goals when he's on the ice. Giordano is 2nd.
The 3M line are all ranked between 45th and 75th in the league for forwards, so certainly where you'd expect with 31 teams.
