Meagher may have been a small guy out there, but his speed and tenacity on the ice made him an effective checking line center.
He had been slowly finding his place in the NHL his first few years in the league, and that is including his stint with the Devils.
The offensive skill that he had did enable Billy MacMillan to use him on the power play when he first arrived, with good results.
He evolved into the defensive player that he had become known for later in his Devils tenure, and carried that over with the
Blues for 6 seasons, eventually winning a Selke near the end of his career.
He briefly took to coaching, becoming the head man for the Peoria Riverman for the 92-93 season, and rejoining the Blues as
an assistant for 97-98. He's still working with the Blues part-time as an amateur scout these days.
