evidence from trustworthy media outlets or official sources that supports the claim that Connor McDavid is the subject of a “secret, highly serious investigation” by National Hockey League (NHL) or Edmonton Oilers administration. What you linked appears to be an unverified rumor or possibly misinformation.
What we know about McDavid and the Oilers — and why the “leaked investigation” claim looks bogus
Contract extension turmoil, not investigation
McDavid recently signed a two-year, US $25 million extension with the Oilers — an average annual value (AAV) of $12.5 million.
The deal surprised many, because that salary is well below what a player of his caliber could command; but it underscores McDavid’s publicly stated desire to prioritise winning over maximum earnings.
His modest extension helped the Oilers’ front office retain flexibility under the salary-cap — a strategic decision rather than indication of any wrongdoing.

League scrutiny has focused elsewhere — not McDavid
The only recent investigation involving the Oilers and the NHL reportedly concerned a salary-cap / LTIR (Long-Term Injury Reserve) issue related to another former teammate — not McDavid.
That investigation, per reports, has been closed.
There are no credible public reports — in major outlets, NHL press releases, or respected beat-writers — alleging that McDavid himself is under investigation for any serious misconduct or violations.
Recent real controversies around McDavid are well-known and documented
Earlier in 2025 McDavid received a three-game suspension after a cross-checking incident in a game against the Vancouver Canucks.
That incident was handled publicly by the league via standard discipline protocols — nothing secret or “investigative.”
Outside of standard on-ice disciplinary issues, there has been no public hint from the league that McDavid is involved in any broader investigation.
What’s red flags about the “leaked source” claim
No coverage by reputable outlets: A claim this serious — that the NHL and the Oilers “secretly launch” a “highly serious investigation” targeting the game’s best player — would almost certainly be covered by major sports news outlets (ESPN, The Athletic, Reuters, NHL.com, etc.). Yet no such coverage exists.
Context doesn’t match: The only recent league scrutiny on the Oilers concerned LTIR use by another player (not McDavid), and that matter was resolved with no public charges against McDavid.
Unverified source with no details: The “fluxaura.biz” post you linked provides no named sources, no evidence, no corroboration from insiders — classic signs of rumor, not journalism.
Conclusion — Why this should not be treated as breaking news
While sensational headlines about “secret investigations” make for clickbait, there is currently zero credible evidence supporting such a claim about McDavid. Everything we know — from contract negotiations to minor on-ice discipline — has been public and accounted for. The notion of a “highly serious investigation” seems to stem from unverified internet chatter, not from any reputable reporting.
Until a recognized sports journalist, NHL statement, or official Oilers communication confirms anything remotely resembling that claim — the responsible stance is to treat it as unfounded rumor.
