From what I've seen he's actually more aggressive t han previously. It looks like he is trying to force a goal, as opposed to his more usual laid-back sort of playing style. With that said I think he has looked really good lately, it's just that the points aren't there yet. Everything in his numbers points to him bouncing back sooner rather than later. I also don't think anyones judgement should be clouded by the fact that the Leafs were shooting crazy high %ages before he came back, they were due to regress regardless. Nylander at under 7 is pretty great value. Considering you signed Kapanen for 3 here, that means Nylander and KK can fill two spots on ther roster otherwise occupied by Marner and a player making 1m - those are usually not very good, and I'd rather have Ny+KK in that scenario. Strålman is a good player, even at that cap hit, but not compared to Willy, and the Leafs have good d-prospects in their system.
TLDR; Nylander is currently unlucky, rather trade Zaitsev or don't sign a defenseman and play kids
