9 points in 21 games, +6 and strong possession numbers while playing mostly with Richardson, Lewis, Ritchie or Lucic.
Monahan has 22 points in 56 games, -15, with prime unchallenged PP time prior to Toffoli’s arrival.
Ruzicka has 28 games to cement his status. Darryl won’t just hand him the job, but Adam won’t ever get a better chance to win it.

I know what you're saying. And I don’t necessarily disagree. But I doubt 2 games are going to sway Sutter, nor should they. And he’s had Ruzicka on a really short leash. Ruzicka still makes a lot of rookie moves that aren’t obvious but are the things Sutter doesn’t like. I suspect he hated that penalty as well. Ruzicka deserves a long look, but I wouldn’t think with Dube and Mangiapane.
