Mike Chambers of the Denver Post: The Colorado Avalanche have signed recently acquired defenseman Devon Toews to a four-year contract worth $16.4 million.

2021-22: $3.55 million

If the final year of the deal when his cap hit in the highest, defenseman Erik Johnson‘s $6 million would be off their books.
