But as for your question: yes, I expect The Athletic to quote multiple sources to support a claim, or at least attempt to do so. Publications I respect at least put things like, "we attempted to reach out to (source) but they did not respond by the time of publication." And even better, actually amend the article should the source respond.

Hey, if you like your lazy reporting, then carry on. I expect more than copy-paste.

The original Athletic article, which appears to be non-paywalled, appears halfway down the first page of results. As you can see, I only used three words. It was incredibly easy, and the Magistrate's quote is there, in full. Any and all of this would have been available to the Bruins since October 2020.

The article is also well sourced.
