The only two guys I can think of that have maintained shooting percentage like that over their careers are Stamkos, and Tanguay. It's possible Monahan is one of those guys but pretty unlikely.

Jordan Staal is a good comp. Toews is setting fans up for disappointment IMO.
Monahan's shooting percentage is 18%, which is a bit high, but for good reason, The guy is a already a great shooter. As he matures and gets better linemates, more power play time, he'll get more shots. Look at Ovechkin, he shoots around 13% yet has 43 goals. My guess is Monahan will be a fairly high percentage shooter throughout his career, not 18%, but he won't need to maintain that to get his goals.
