Like many defensemen from his era, Beverley was a very good stay-at-home defenseman that could also move the puck with
great efficiency. However, for his first few pro seasons, finding a home in the bigs proved to be a tough task. The WHA and
injuries in the Bruins' lineup opened the door for him.
With that, and how his career panned out since then, he became a valuable journeyman whose career would last until that last
season he played for the Rockies.
He got into team management after he retired. First, he worked in the Kings' organization as a minor league coach, scout,
director of player personnel, and was also the GM when the Kings went to the Stanley Cup finals in 1993.
He left the Kings to join the office/scouting staff for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He also became the coach of the team in 1996 to
finish the season after Pat Burns had left the team. He finished the season with a personal winning record, but it wasn't enough to
be considered a permanent replacement.
He then joined the Chicago Blackhawks after that as an assistant GM, and remained there until just before the lockout. Just
before the lockout ended, though, he joined the Nashville Predators as their pro scout, where he remains today.
