To respond to the first bolded..." the coaching staff have determined that Gaunce is not up to NHL caliber and have sent him to Utica."
And the second bolded is just what you stated...You just made the leap.
I truly believe that any player that out preforms an other player will be given a chance. Gaunce did not out preform anyone...even Schaller.

What is this preform that you speak of? Schaller hasn't outperformed anyone on either the canucks or comets roster, however he was a new signing and no GM is going to send their shiny new toy down to the minors.
The gm decided who goes up and down, not the coach.
Come on, you're better then this.
