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%).
That's definitely the Booth I remember from watching as a Canuck. Hope he can do better going to my team and rejoining the east.
