I think the Sabres blink before camps open. Why keep him for the season when his suitors won't be sorted out until the end of the year and some may choose to keep their pick if they're firmly in lottery territory.

Let him have his surgery and if it goes poorly or he takes a year off to recoup, then the Sabres are left holding the bag. They tried playing hardball with Jack, and the other teams around the league. Didn't work. Their options are shrinking. They'll blink.
