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 Columbus Blue Jackets on June 23 the same year where he stayed for two seasons. For the 2002–03 season, Quint rejoined the Coyotes for a second spell, it only lasted one season though and he later joined the Chicago Blackhawks the next season.

In 2005 he joined Eisbären Berlin of Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga and has led them to 3 league championships in the past 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. 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.
