Wow, the Flames are tied with the Habs for most popular on this site so far. Where are all the votes??? Only 16 so far in a hockey-mad country? Seems odd.

I don't think all of Canada has discovered the wonders of City Data quite yet.
However, if it helps to reinforce the hockey-mad theory, it's snowing like the dickens and I'll soon be off to my second hockey game of this week with another 2 games due before the end of the week.
If you sit back and think about it, the Huet trade makes sense in the end. Montreal had three years to evaluate him and in the end they decided that he would not continue to be the #1 goalie in Montreal as confirmed by Gainey. If they were not going to resign him beyond this summer, then the only logical move was to trade him. The 2nd round pick given up was probably the best Gainey could do, seeing the goaltending market is pretty dormant as we speak. If you go over all the teams in the NHL, you could identify maybe 2-3 (including Washington) that may perhaps ponder their goalie situation at the trade deadline. It was a good move.
Montreal is still a young team with limited playoff experience among the younger players. This trade will allow Price to get a nice feel for the playoffs and gain that valuable experience along with everyone else on the team. This is a long term move. What we lose today in Huet, is an investment in the future for Price.
Switching gears, Cornerguy is bang on with the fact that only a limited number of Canadians have discovered citydata... but give it time and eventually more people will post here. Word of mouth will have an effect.
