I don't think Anton has much of a chance of getting back into the lineup. I don't think Hartely likes the foot speed of Sarich to give him the every game status of bottom pairing.

Yes. As a bottom pairing d-man, yes. Very few players in the AHL can match him strength-wise. Plus, he adds much needed toughness to the blueline. He an actually hit people and he'll drop the gloves.
His foot speed is about par with Sarich and Babs, but he's way more physically imposing than Babs and probably exceeds the defensive abilities of Sarich at this point in his career.
