Take a look at how Ehrhoff's contract is structured and you'll realize that they'd be complete morons to trade him now. They signed him to a 10-year, $40 million deal, 18 million of which they paid him in the last two seasons.

"The Lightning could use a Letang and could offer the 3rd overall pick in a package. The Oilers need help on the blueline and have been offering up the 7th overall pick. Letang may be too similar to Justin Schultz’s skill set for a deal to make sense for them. The Ducks could be an interesting option with Bobby Ryan and potentially two number one goalies in Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth and top goalie prospect John Gibson. Gibson is from Pittsburgh. The Sharks may not have the assets to land Letang. The Rangers could use a right handed defenseman, but they may not have the depth to make a deal."

He's a good "weatherman," meaning that his play is consistent and he can weather waves of attack and string big saves together. His vision through traffic is a bit behind the rest of his skills, at this stage in his development. With the new goaltending coach that will be brought on board, this would be the perfect time to bring a young guy and start the grooming process.

As far back as I looked, a Norris trophy finalist has not been traded the following offseason, so it makes it extremely difficult to judge value on a deal like this.
Jack Johnson, Eric Johnson, Dion Phaneuf, etc don't really compare with Letang as far as value is concerned. Its not even fair to compare Letang to Top-Six forwards, since there are so many more top-six forward in the league than there are #1 puck-moving defensemen.

All the other suggestions keep adding more and more salary which we need to keep it low until next season.

That's just a terrible idea.
You HAVE to get compensated for him and having him for one more season is NOT enough compensation.
They need to trade him because there is no way we can afford his price tag.
Why? People will trade a first a prospect and three seconds for Morrow, Iggy, and Morrow to play for two months. But forgoing those picks to keep Letang for an entire season is insane.
