Unofficial Avalanche offseason salary cap chart, updated with the Quincey and Winnik deals (Winnik is currently the 5th highest-paid forward on the team). Matt Hendricks has moved from "in the mix" to "potential departures".
Avalanche are at about $36.7 million with the 19 players signed we expect to make the team and need to add about $6.7 million to get to the cap floor, which is about what we're estimating for the pending deals to Chris Stewart, Peter Mueller and Brandon Yip. Note that this list has 14 forwards and 6 defensemen on the projected lineup, so there's certainly tweaking that needs to be done, but swapping a low-salary forward for a low-salary defensemen shouldn't change the bottom line too much.
[Update: Tom Preissing's completely illogical buyout is apparently "official" now - it's listed on capgeek - so his non-savings have been updated.]
