This is a good deal for the Panthers. They gave up very little for him. Markstrom may still turn out into a #1 goalie, but he's closer to being an expendable prospect than "best" prospect.
I wouldn't say this is a terrible deal for the Canucks. They really weren't going anywhere with Luongo in net.
The person that benefitted most from this deal is Luongo's wife.
