Playing career
Quint was drafted 30th overall by Winnipeg in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft As a rookie in the 1995–96 season, by scoring two goals in a four second span, he tied an NHL record originally set by Nels Stewart of the Montreal Maroons in 1931. The next season the Jets became the Phoenix Coyotes and Quint remained with Phoenix until he was traded to the New Jersey Devils on March 7, 2000 for Lyle Odelein. Quint would only play four regular season games for the Devils before being traded to the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets on June 23 the same year where he stayed for two seasons leading the Blue Jackets in minutes played per game. For the 2002–03 season, Quint rejoined the Coyotes for a second campaign and he later joined the Chicago Blackhawks the next season.
During the NHL lockout, which resulted in the 2004–05 season being cancelled, Quint played for Bolzano HC in Italy. Quint has since played for Kloten in Switzerland.
In 2005 he joined Eisbären Berlin of Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga and led them to 3 league championships in 4 seasons. At the end of the 2006–07 DEL season, he signed with the New York Islanders and returned to the NHL, playing five games and assisting them in making the playoffs. He returned to Eisbaren for the 2007–08 DEL season while becoming the DEL Defenseman of the Year in 2008 and leading the Bears to another league championship. Quint lead all scoring for defenseman during the 08-09 season, while setting a franchise record of playing in 237 consecutive games and winning a 3rd DEL Championship. Quint was a DEL All-Star defenseman for three seasons.
After four years, he left Germany and signed with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk team of the predominantly Russian Kontinental Hockey League. In 2010, he signed with Traktor Chelyabinsk. He set a record for most goals scored by a KHL defenseman in 2010–11 and was selected to the KHL West All-Star team in the 2012–13 season.
On May 1, 2013 he signed a two year contract with HC Spartak Moscow.[1] On January 15, 2014 due to Spartak's financial woes, he was traded to CSKA Moscow together with Jeff Glass for a monetary compensation. On May 6, 2014, Quint opted to return to his past successes in the KHL, by signing with Traktor Chelyabinsk.[2]
Quint has played for Traktor Chelyabinsk in the 380 (the most by any North American) games and scored 136 (53 + 83) points. Deron is a two-time participant in the CHL All-Star Game (2013, 2014), the top scorer among defenders in the league (2011, 2014), winner of the Continent (2012), a silver and bronze medalist of the CHL (2012, 2013). He is 2015/2016 "captain" of the Traktor club.
