The Colorado Avalanche have committed to their defensive future, signing top-flight defenseman Devon Toews to a seven-year contract extension. The deal, worth $50.75 million, carries an annual cap hit of $7.25 million. The signing reflects the team's confidence in Toews' performance, despite concerns about the longevity of players in their 30s, and solidifies their defensive line as they aim to remain contenders in the league.
