History
Drafted 157th overall in the 6th round by the Edmonton Oilers.
2007-08: Was very raw but impressed at Oiler training camp before returning to Sweden. Left Linköping midway through the season and returned to old team (Tingsryd). Oilers were not happy with his development during season especially during U19 camp.
Talent Analysis
A huge guy that is a very good and speedy skater. Quist is technically skilled and has good hands. He is creative with the puck and tough to stop thanks to his great reach. Could use some extra muscles and strength but still gets involved when things get rough.
Quist has the potential as his skating is a strength and he has size but he is still very raw and needs to develop his abilities.

Future
The Oilers made it very clear that they wanted him to come to Canada and play in the CHL for the coming year but instead Quist has signed a contract with Nybro, a men’s league below the SEL. The Oilers are concerned that he’ll barely play if/when he isn’t a healthy scratch. He hasn’t accomplished much and has not taken advice from the organization so he’s definitely painted himself into a corner.
