After his first full professional season with Anaheim AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals in the 2013–14 season, Whitney sought a release from his contract and on October 21, 2014, he was placed on unconditional waivers in confirming the end of his association with the Ducks. He signed with the Florida Everblades on Feb. 12, 2015.[3]
