It certainly looks like it. He's 27 and experienced so it's not like he's a rookie and might fade. They are calling him Chicago's Panarin this year.
I am reading that Rutta is Chicago's #2 D. Has he surpassed Seabrook? Will it last?

His path to 30 is easier given what's happened to date.
I think he gets there but he'll experience ups and downs.

HYPOTHESIS: Jan Rutta has surpassed Breat Seabrook on the Chicago Depth Chart.
PREDICTION: If Jan Rutta has surpassed Brent Seabrook on the Chicago Depth Chart, Rutta should be on the ice more than Seabrook during games.
EXPERIMENT:
Player - TOI/GP
Keith - 25:01
Seabrook - 22:36
Rutta - 18:58
Forsling - 17:32
Murphy - 16:10
Kempny - 16:08
Franson - 15:23
Maybe something has changed recently so let's check the ice time over the last 3 games:
Rutta - 19:57, 17:33 and 18:54
Seabrook - 22:41, 22:06 and 22:56
CONCLUSION: Seabrook is still and was always ahead of Rutta on the Blackhawks depth chart.
