Stats, Luongo VS Schneider

Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo used to be teammates on the Vancouver Canucks.  The Canucks had plans to move Luongo during the draft, but Luongo's contract had no takers.  Edmonton and New Jersey were the two front-runners to acquire Schneider, but the Canucks did not wan't to trade within their division.  New Jersey sent a 1st round draft pick to Vancouver, straight up for Cory Schneider.  With Schneider gone, and Luongo now the starter for Vancouver, lets see how their stats add up.

Luongo was drafted 4th overall in the 1997  NHL entry draft.  He was traded from NYI, to Florida, and now plays with the Vancouver Canucks.  Luongo wanted out of Vancouver, when everyone thought Schneider was going to be the Canucks starting goalie for the future, however no teams wanted to take-on his salary.
