As for having "far less experience and worse statistics" than Schneider, I'd say not by much...
Scrivens - Sept 1986
NCAA 117GP .930 sv%
AHL 72GP .925 sv%
NHL 14GP .905 sv%
Schneider - March 1986
NCAA 99GP .925 sv%
AHL 136GP .920 sv%
NHL 69GP .926 sv%

Just looking at statistics alone doesn't tell you much, Schnieder played at a younger age on a worse team than Scrivens. Every goaltender on the Marlies was able to put up a really good save percentage Gustavson was able to put up a .955 sv% (albeit in 5 games)... Mark Owuya put up a .929 sv%.
Personally I think that it would be foolish for the Leafs not to kick the tires on Luongo a bit.
