Yes, everyone knew an offer sheet COULD happen, but, I've yet to find a post on HF predicting Philly with the record bonus containing offer that requires $52,000,000 in bonus money alone between the signing of the contract and July 1st, 2015 (just under three years). Maybe I missed it somewhere.
The assertion of " more than likely low ball offers" is just more pure speculation on your part. The reports surrounding the Suter offer have the Preds in the $90,000,000 range before the Wild's final, and eventually successful, offer.

Yeah $90,000,000 when he became a free agent AGAIN WHAT WAS THE OFFERS BEFORE THAT?????? I would say probably low ball to Mr. Suter since he wanted to test free agency because he KNEW he would get more $$$$$$$$$$$
