Willy has been on PP2 at times, but mostly on PP1 under Keefe. He actually led the leafs in PP TOI and was second (by 3 seconds to Matthews) in PP TOI/GP last year with 3:35/ https://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?report=timeonice&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20222023&seasonTo=20222023&gameType=2&playerPlayedFor=franchise.5&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=ppTimeOnIcePerGame&page=0&pageSize=50
He was also third in EV TOI/GP behind Matthews and Marner and ahead of Tavares at 14:44
Those numbers would have had him 2nd at EV TOI/GP and 1st in PP TOI/GP for a forward on Nashville. So I don't think you can argue he's been buried
