4 years is still a long time but after then they probably can't afford to keep him.

Smart move in their situation, imo. Bridge contracts are ridiculous for core players or star players on teams who need star players.
But if you're Toronto and have the incredible talent on offense that you do and are in danger of losing a star to your cap situation, you sign Nylander to as low cap hit as possible for 3 or 4 years, then ship him off for a ransom in the last year or so.
