Agree with your list.
The point I'd add is allow a free and independent media. The fanboy approach the team demands and controls through access is stale. Who can we really trust that follows this team? Frustrating as an overseas fan and a real small town look for the city.
It also allows the situation we're in to form again as there are no sense checks for the decision making on players or management.

May as well give up on that hope.
We're not going to get a lot of new writers on the Oilers beat any time soon. That industry has hit very lean times, so they're just not bringing new blood in. Daniel Nugent-Bowman is the exception, and he works for the Athletic which has axed a ton of people.
Terry Jones got canned with no replacement. Matheson won't be too far behind, but people don't buy the Edmonton Journal or Sun for the sports section any more, so they can't afford to spend good money on bringing in and grooming new talent. Maybe we'll get a new version of TSN 1260 up, but they're not going to be able to pay a lot of people.
As for the current slate of personalities, in a shrinking industry, they're desperate to stay alive, so they'll not bite the hand that feeds them in the Oilers. The devil's pact there is that management has given them the green light to go after players (especially either departed players or ones on the way out) so long as they leave management alone. Meanwhile management will selectively leak some things to them and continue to give them unfettered access even if they ask stupid questions and piss off star players - as both Matheson and Spector have done in the last year.
