One wonders which came first - Tarik penciling Josef Boumedienne into the starting lineup or his decision to profile the Swedish rearguard in tomorrow's WaPo. Regardless, both pieces give some serious food for thought to those who thought that signing Boomer was merely an insurance policy that could be cancelled once Tom Poti was acquired.If Boumedienne does make the team, that likely leaves (barring a trade) one on-ice spot and one press box seat left for Steve Eminger, Mike Green, Jeff Schultz and John Erskine... and 15-plus days to figure it all out.
