Linden Bahm is in a fight for an over-age job.

There is no guarantee the Halifax Mooseheads will use three over-agers this season.

With five coming to camp --- forwards Yuri Cheremetiev, Linden Bahm and Eric Louis-Seize and defencemen Alexandre Brunet and Ben MacAskill --- at least two are going to be out of a job and maybe more by the time the QMJHL pre-season concludes.

Cheremetiev, last season's co-leading scorer and a breakout candidate in 2009-10, is a lock and Alexandre Brunet, acquired from the Rimouski Oceanic, is a pretty safe bet. The rest will battle it out for the final spot, if there even is a final spot.

"We're not going to take three over-agers just for the sake of keeping three over-agers," Mooseheads GM Cam Russell said. "There are three spots open and we'll take three if three earn them. If we feel there are only two that earn spots, we'll just keep two. It all depends on how they come to camp and perform."

MacAskill is not positioned well for a job, given that the Mooseheads have 19-year-olds Pascal Amyot and Spencer Metcalfe on the depth chart. Keeping MacAskill would take up a development spot for a youngster.

Louis-Seize won't provide much offence but he is a hard-hitting leader. Bahm showed flashes of potential early last season but couldn't sustain it.

I agree with Cam stepping aside and letting someone coach.....I mean sometimes a new approach is all you need. And from what I know personally he can't organize a curfew for the kids let alone a...

Maybe now is the time for Cam to consider going up stairs full time and bring in a new coaching staff for next year. It obviously hasn't worked for the last three years, so maybe a change is required.
