Is it realistic though? Wanting more is a given, but it has been pretty clear what this franchise is - middle to back of the pack, with the occasional high end season sprinkled in for the better part of the last 20-25 years. Coaching, players and management haven't changed a thing to be honest. The only constant is ownership.
For me, the directive when Treliving came onboard seemed to be aimed at building a perennial contender (that was what I recall the talking points being anyway). There hasn't really been any point in time under Treliving where this team has been able to call itself a contender in a perennial fashion (which to me would be 3-4-5 consecutive years of challenging for a division title or winning a playoff round etc.
As fans, we've had 2-3 exciting years under Trevliving, but beyond that it always seems to revert to something similar to what we are seeing now. I still hold out hope this season could end differently, but it does seem foolish given the track record.
