Smith and Backstrom have similar numbers to Luongo this season, both perhaps slightly worse, but close enough to say they are about the same.
Emery has a better save percentage, a much better GAA, and is 17-1 this season. You are right in saying that he's not close to as good. He's much better.
I don't see why a team would want Luongo and his contract when Smith, Backstrom, Emery, Bernier, Miller, etc, are all still on the table, or might be on the table - and have no way of really hurting you down the road.
