A) I Can see that angle and how it would decrease Luongo's value.

B) There would be a higher probability of the 4 players you mentioned being busts than there is Mackinnon. Plus whose to say the player Calgary picked 6th overall wouldnt be a bust anyways? A player succeeding with another team that you personally do not like instead of Calgary is not an objective way to assess the hockey value of a trade.
