Not being used to the North American ice and skill level will certainly be a factor that would make it extremely hard for him to compete with Luongo this year. Maybe in a year or two, as I do think he's good, but you're ignoring important factors by just saying his technical ability will allow him to push Luongo and give him "all he can handle" - assuming Eriksson even makes the NHL this year.

That doesn't mean it's automatically easier to play on a NA ice surface after having played on international ice your whole life. Plenty of European goalies have struggled coming from the larger ice to the better league, even with good fundamentals. It's likely to come with an adjustment period rather than him just stepping in and outperforming or even matching Luongo.
