The Vancouver Canucks could be closer to naming a general manager. The team met with Boston Bruins assistant general manager Jim Benning on Wednesday about the vacant role. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that Benning is considered the frontrunner for the job. Dreger also reports that some believe that Canucks president Trevor Linden is waiting until the end of the second round of the playoffs to make an appointment. Benning, a former Canucks defenceman who spent nine seasons in the league with Vancouver and the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been an assistant with the Bruins since 2006. Following his playing career that ended in 1990, he worked as a scout for the Anaheim Ducks and the Buffalo Sabres before a six-year run as the Sabres Director of Amateur Scouting starting in 1998. Benning won the Stanley Cup with the Bruins in 2011. The Canucks parted ways with former general manager Mike Gillis last month.

While he was away, it was the division-rival Baltimore Orioles conducting a little business of their own, scooping up Ubaldo Jimenez on Monday evening to a reported four-year, $50-million contract.The Canadian Football League is fighting back against veteran wide receiver Arland Bruce. A former B.C. Lions player, Bruce suffered a concussion and was knocked out during a September 2012 game in Regina. He was cleared to play that November and alleged in a lawsuit filed in July that he was still suffering from the concussion when he returned to the field. Two months after Bruces lawsuit was filed, the CFL, Commissioner Mark Cohon, and Charles Tator, a renowned neurosurgeon and scientist who has consulted to the CFL, filed court documents asking that the claim be dismissed. The CFL declined to comment. In court documents obtained by TSN, Tator has asked that Bruce be responsible for the doctors legal costs. The CFL also filed its response to Arlands claim. The league has asked the court to move the case to Ontario if it isnt dismissed. In what Bruces lawyer described as an expected development, the league has asked that the case be dismissed and sent to arbitration under terms of the CFLs collective bargaining agreement. The CFLs tactic is the same one that the NFL employed during its own concussion litigation. Both leagues argued that individual teams are responsible for the health and safety of players. The NFL lost its argument and the case went to trial. Arlands lawyer Robyn Wishart said it would be months before a court rules on the motions to dismiss or move the case to Ontario. "Since Arland filed the case a number of former CFL players have contacted me saying that they have had health problems arising from concussions," she told TSN. "These are sad cases. In one instance, one former player who needs daily care is being looked after by his 80-year-old mother because he is American and doesnt have Medicare." Wishart wouldnt say how many players have contacted her. She also declined to identify the players. Its unclear how many former CFL players might be suffering from concussion-related symptoms. After Bruces lawsuit, the B.C. Lions told players not to speak publicly about the case, The Vancouver Sun reported. Tony Proudfoot, a former CFL defensive back with the Montreal Alouettes and Lions, died in December 2010 after he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrigs disease. Proudfoot said before his death that he had discovered eight of the leagues 15,000 all-time players had been diagnosed with the disease. In the general population, it affects two in 100,000 people. Months before Proudfoots death, doctors at Bostonn University released a study suggesting that some deceased National Football League players who had received a diagnosis of ALS in fact didnt have the disease.dddddddddddd Rather, they had another fatal disease caused by concussion-like trauma that damages the central nervous system. The Concussion Blog, a blog run by a U.S. athletic trainer, reported last month that Toronto Argonauts running back Terry Metcalf also plans to sue the league. Metcalf, 63, who lives in Seattle and teaches kindergarten, complains of chronic ringing in his ears, memory issues, and has a 50 per cent loss of feeling in his right hand, the blog reported. Phil Colwell, another former Argo, is also suffering concussion-related symptoms, the Waterloo Region Record reported in March. After a 1981 game when he was knocked unconscious, Colwell said the only medical advice he received was not to go to sleep that night, and was allowed to drive himself 100 kilometres home after the game. Colwell returned to play a week after he was knocked out. "At the time, if I had gone on the injury list for a concussion, I would have been cut," Colwell said, according to The Waterloo Region Record. Former Argo Eric "The Flea" Allen is also in the process of suing the CFL, the blog reported. Allen, who starred with the Argos from 1973-75 can hardly walk, The Concussion Blog reported, and is being cared for by his 84-year-old mother. Tim Fleiszer, a former CFL player who runs the Sports Legacy Institute, a non-profit group committed to advancing the study of head trauma, told TSN that there probably are other players with health problems, but might not believe that theres a big financial upside to suing the CFL. "Theres obviously a lot more money in the NFL to pay out on these things," Fleiszer said. Bruce, 36, a self-described "unemployed football player" in his lawsuit, has asked the court to award him damages for medical expenses and loss of income. The CFL Players Association proposed during negotiations for collective bargaining a requirement that an independent neurologist be on the sidelines for every game, The Vancouver Sun reported. CFL officials rejected that proposal, arguing teams already have relationships with some of Canadas top physicians. The proposal for independent neurologists was not adopted when the players agreed to a five-year CBA in June. Bruces claims have not been proven in court. None of the defendants have filed substantive statements of defence.
