I'm looking to know who every teams beat writers are?
I don't want bloggers or fan sites, just people who cover the team for your local news agencies, or the Athletic.
If you could paste their Twitter account, that would be great.

Peace and enjoy the rest of the season...

Lol riiight. The Athletic is fantastic.

As for OP, The Avs have AJ hajefele/Adrian Dater/Rick Sadowski/Ryan Clark, all as the main ones. Clark is very good.

Leafs beat writers worth following imo

James Mirtle
Jonas Siegel
Mark Masters
Kristen Shilton

Two other guys who are less focused on the Leafs beat due to other responsibilities, but do good work there when they're on it.

Bruce Arthur
Chris Johnston

Joe smith

Thanks!

Anyone else?

On mobile so can’t link but they’re all pretty easily searchable on Twitter.

Dustin Nielson
Ryan Rishaug
Rob Tychkowski
Jason Gregor
Frank Seravalli

^^^ worth a damn. Don’t always get it right but hear the odd thing and aren’t as shy as the group below to roast a management group deserving of it. And Tychkowski is hilarious. Seravalli is national but seems pretty plugged into the Oil.

Mark Spector

^^^ Terrible, sucks at his job, dinosaur, arrogant prick, but sometimes hears things

Jim Matheson
Terry Jones

^^^ haven’t had a scoop or been relevant since 1987. Management apologists until they’re fired then the knives come out.

Gene Principe
Bob Stauffer

^^^ team mouthpieces. I call Stauffer the Mouth of Sauron, also answers to Baghdad Bob. Most of their opinions are bought and paid for by the Oilers.

@Le Grec you shoudl edit the OP and add sources to it, so the mods can use this thread to replace the old one.

Man that guy made me cringe listening to his post game radio show on CHED.
If he were 10 years younger I'd believe he were the son of Kevin Lowe.

San Jose - Kevin Kurz, the athletic.
There's also Paul Gackle and David Pollack, but LeBrun leaks more news about SJ than any of our dedicated writers.
