SAN JOSE — The Colorado Avalanche have locked up another key piece of the team’s core with a huge contract.

Devon Toews and the club agreed to a seven-year contract extension Friday morning, the team announced. Toews would have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, but is now under team control through 2030-31. The deal is worth $7.25 million per season and $50.75 million in total, The Denver Post confirmed through a league source.

“Getting a deal done with Devon at the start of the season was a priority for us,” Avs general manager Chris MacFarland said in a team statement.
