BREAKING: Avalanche Extend Devon Toews Long Term

The Colorado Avalanche have signed one of their core defensemen to a long-term deal.

The Colorado Avalanche have just announced that they have extended Devon Toews to a seven-year deal.

The deal carries an AAV of $7.25 million per year.

Toews is widely regarded as one of the best defensemen in the NHL and is a part of the best defensive pairing in all of hockey with Cale Makar.

He is nearly 30 so this contract will be a bit of a gamble from the Avalanche.
