As a manager of a business if I find my staff leaking information about deals to clients/competitors they are done that day. The NHL insiders on every network don't have the contacts everyone believes they do, they make up crap all the time and repeat it enough until all the gullible people believe it.

I think the bolded part is just what you perceive. Most of these guys have been in locker rooms and know people. Are those people the GM's giving them scoups? More than likely not, but probably know trainers and workers beneath the high level stuff.
