I've hardly seen him score, that's the point! Seriously though...

At Palace he scored 7 in 28, which is one in four.

At Norwich he has scored 8 in 48 at championship level. Roughly 1 in 5.

He has scored some great goals, there's no doubt about that, but scoring great goals doesn't make you a natural goalscorer, hence the saying scorer of great goals but not a great goalscorer. That was something that could be argued about Hucks, but his pace and regular assists made up for that.

That's not to say he's a bad player, far from it, but it's ridiculous to call him a natural goalscorer when his record is worse than 1 in 4 at championship level. Facts are facts.
