Edmonds had been with Syracuse for each of the last three seasons, going straight to the AHL after being drafted by Tampa as a re-entry. Edmonds had scored 113 points for the Kingston Frontenacs the previous season, putting him on NHL radars, getting selected 86th overall. Edmonds is now 23 years old.
Korczak, meanwhile, was in his second full season with the Wolf Pack. He was picked 75th overall in 2021 after finding success in the WHL as a member of the Moose Jaw Warriors. Korczak is 22 years old.
Both players will be able to get a fresh start in a new organization amid a season with lighter-than-normal production.
Edmonds had just five points in 26 games for Syracuse, while Korczak had 11 points in 35 games. Both are on pace for fewer points than they scored last season. Sometimes a new opportunity can spark things with a new organization as both were highly-productive players in junior.
It is uncertain if either player will be in the lineup for their new team Saturday night. Hartford will welcome the Rochester Americans at 6 p.m. ET, while Syracuse hosts the Cleveland Monsters at 7 p.m. ET. Both games will air on FloHockey.
