At the conclusion of his senior season with the Broncos in the 2013–14 season, Balisy rights were relinquished by the Nashville Predators, entitling him to free agency.

In the 2017–18 season, Balisy was assigned by Florida to the Springfield Thunderbirds in the AHL before he received his first recall by the Panthers on October 27, 2017. [6] He made his NHL debut with Florida the following day in a 3-2 shootout defeat to the Detroit Red Wings on October 29, 2017. [7]

As a free agent from the Panthers in the off-season, Balisy signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ottawa Senators on August 10, 2018. [8]
