I don't think any guy is worth 8 years in a contact sport but that's just me (particularly when they're 28+). You really run the risk of guys quitting after signing, or getting injured. Both can be generally foreseeable. Nylander doesn't play a particularly physical game, and doesn't get hit much so injury wise should be alright. You never know about guys quitting which is a risk but given his play for years after he got out of his early contact avoidance days, he should be fine.
