I think it is a somewhat risky deal for Colorado as well. He is a very good defenseman, and he is eligible for arbitration. I am also pretty sure he is a UFA after this season. I could be wrong though. It comes down to the ability of Colorado to extend Towes long term, despite him only having two seasons in the league.
If we consider that it is Colorado's window to win, then Towes definitely fits that for this year.
