Hudler is another one of those guys.
Anything over 14 is extremely out of the ordinary.

Hudler is 4th in career shooting percentage among all active players at .151.

Monahan is currently sitting at .160.

Sure it's possible that Monahan is an extreme exception to the rule, but it'd be a poor bet to assume that after a single season or two.

Cogliano shot .188 and .155 his first two seasons. and currently sits at .123 for his career for example.
