I think what you'll see is most of the opinions on Luongo are independent of the Leafs' goaltenders performances. On top of that, if they do suck, that means the team likely gets another high pick and maybe ends up with someone like MacKinnon, Drouin or Barkov - so, it's almost win-win.
I think what concerns me most isn't that our goaltending duo will suck, because like you said, there's a reward on draft day for that. I'm bothered more by the inconsistency of inexperienced goaltenders. They play well at times, then tend to hit ruts more often then veterans, and when they hit the skids it's blown up to epic proportions in a city hockey mad like Toronto. Hopefully one of these guys can prove me wrong, but its been a long time since we've seen a rookie goaltender come into his own as a Leaf.
