That's because he shoots the puck from absolutely everywhere.
Possession numbers are very valuable most of the time, but there are outliers for whom they're not really indicative of their actual play and Booth is one of them. There's a reason that he just finished his 5th consecutive season with a sub 7% on-ice shooting percentage (league average for forwards is about 8.5% and for top 6 players it's more like 9%).
