Stars' defenseman Sean Avery and co-general manager Brett Hull met with commissioner Gary Bettman in New York to discuss inappropriate comments made by Avery.
A decision on Avery's future is expected later Thursday or Friday morning.
Avery made headlines Tuesday when he told reporters, "I'm just going to say one thing. I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my (former girlfriends). I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight."
Avery's former girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert of the television show "24" and the movie "Old School," is dating Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf. She also had been romantically linked to Montreal defenseman Mike Komisarek.
Stars coach Dave Tippett and owner Tom Hicks condemned the remarks.
Avery has since apologized for the remarks.
