I think the reason many on here, Twitter etc are starting to freak out is because many thought both eventually wanted to leave. With both players saying they want to be here long term and the team playing at a high level it really seemed like there was a good chance we can keep both. Now with Johnny sitting on an offer for over a month and Chucky rumors from Lebrun peoples initial thoughts and concerns are creeping back in.
