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.

Yeah, mediocre goalies never put up good numbers over small samples only to crater the next year.
Any GM who honestly thinks Emery is going to provide better goaltending going forward than Luongo should be (and likely would be in short order) out of a job.
