Oleg Vladimirovich Kvasha (Russian: Олег Владимирович Кваша; born July 26, 1978) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for Barys Astana of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Kvasha was chosen in the third round, 65th overall, by the Florida Panthers in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. On June 24, 2000, he was dealt by the Panthers to the New York Islanders with winger Mark Parrish for goaltender Roberto Luongo and center Olli Jokinen. After playing with the Islanders for five seasons, Kvasha was traded along with a conditional fifth round draft pick to the Phoenix Coyotes for a third round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft on March 9, 2006.
What could have come out of Kvasha's NHL career, remains a giant unknown. A being of superhuman talent, with long flowing goldie locks he spent many of his efforts, both physically and mentally on curing the world of all evil, poverty, hunger and pollution. While his NHL numbers represent a huge "what could have been", the state of the world, had Kvasha never been present, is an infinitely more haunting scenario.
Kvasha has represented his native Russia in the 2002 Winter Olympics, where he won a bronze medal.
