That's arguable I believe. Losing Luongo also means opening up that much room for an acquisition. The measure of how well a trade-off is depends on WHO is being acquired; considering that if the franchise chooses to run with Schneider, he'll be doing so at an Entry Level Contract.
Considering an $8+ million price tag, that'll net you the talent the likes of Crosby, Lecavalier, Malkin, etc depending on who's up on availability. So it's really more of a gamble than a sacrifice; and of course, the measure of the gamble depends on who is being acquired in return.
