Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The Tampa Bay Lightning announced they have signed defenseman J.J. Moser to an eight-year extension worth $54 million (average annual value of $6.75 million) shortly before Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers.
Moser, 25, is in the second year of a two-year deal he signed with the Lightning ahead of the 2024-25 season. His new deal runs from the 2026-27 season through 2033-34.
Moser has 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in 34 games this season, approaching the 14 points he had in his debut season in Tampa. His plus-44 rating over the last two seasons with the Lightning is tied for the fourth-highest by all NHL defensemen over that span and his 60 hits since the start of the 2024-25 season lead Tampa Bay.
A native of Switzerland, Moser was the 60th overall pick in the second round of the 2021 NHL Draft by Arizona before he was traded to the Lightning in June of 2024.
Moser has 98 career points (21 goals, 77 assists) and a plus-17 rating over 293 career games across five seasons.
