I realize there is a possibility that our defence could end up considerably worse without Sarich, but the Flames need to develop defensive prospects. Plus, this allows cap space to be moved from defence to offence. If Langkow is back full time, it may be a necessity anyways.

There's all sorts of ways this could shake out. There is a belief by some that a major piece could be moved form the core this summer. Regehr seems to be the likely candidate and if that proves to be true - you must keep Sarich. Moreover, I think he had a darn good year and has good chemistry with Gio. I'm not in a rush to trade him.
If that isn't the case I would still look to re-sign Babchuk as long as he's reasonable and then let Brodie/Erixon compete for the #6 spot with guys like Mikkelson (if re-signed), Pelech and Breen battling for the final spot.
