Third all-time in wins, but that's mostly because he's second all-time in games played.
If you go by points percentage, he's 35th out of 71 among all goalies with at least 500 NHL regular season games played. By straight win percentage, he's 29th.
There's something to be said for longevity, but I don't know if that should be enough to get into the Hall.
I'd put Luongo in the same category as Cujo. If they used the same standard for goalies that they do for skaters, they should be in the Hall, but as long as guys like Vernon and Barrasso aren't even in the conversation, they're obviously not using the same standard as they use for skaters.
