It was Barry Trotz. He didn't pull any punches when discussing their disappointment with him:

“We got Devan from Edmonton, and what we realized very quickly was that Devan has a lot of… I’ll say bad habits he’s picked up this year,” Predators coach Barry Trotz told Nashville radio station 94.9 Game2 on Wednesday. “We started him at home, and you could really see he was out of sync in his game, so we wanted to spend some time with him working with [goaltending coach] Mitch Korn, just being able to get his game in order.”

He ended up playing two games for the Preds (with a 4.35 GAA) and was eventually traded to the Habs and sent to the AHL.
