Playing 372 games over six seasons for Carolina, he led the team in scoring during the 2006-07 team with 83 points in 81 games.
Whitney also made franchise history when he scored three goals in 100 seconds against the Boston Bruins on February 8, 2007.
Known as one of the funnier members of the locker room, his career concluded after 22 seasons in 2015. His 1,330 games played, 679 assists, and 1,064 points rank tops among all players selected in the 1991 NHL Draft. His total points also rank inside the Top 100 among all skaters in NHL history.
> "The Wizard was one of the final offseason pieces added to the team that would win the Stanley Cup in 2006, cut loose by the Red Wings for salary-cap reasons after the Hurricanes missed out on Paul Kariya. Their combined misfortune would lead to great success as he worked his offensive magic as a creator and catalyst on the wing not only that season but the next four. Not the biggest player, Whitney thrived in the more open post-lockout ice, finding open spaces and open teammates, and his ability to keep the locker room loose was invaluable in tense situations. A true character who played for eight NHL teams but had his best moments here." - Luke DeCock, Carolina Hurricanes Hall of Fame Committee and Raleigh News & Observer Columnist
