They seem to be trending in the right direction and with how young most of their important players are it is reasonable to expect them to be a competitive or a contending team over the course of the next several years.

I think you are being unreasonably impatient.
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree then. I don’t think that believing this team has the players to be challenging for 1st or 2nd in the division this year is unrealistic.
