US EditionLightning, Defenseman JJ Moser Agree on 8-Year, $54 Million Extension
J.J. Moser, 25, leads Tampa Bay Lightning defensemen in ice time and stability amid injuries, securing an eight-year extension worth $6.75 million average annual value.
- On Saturday, Tampa Bay Lightning announced an eight-year extension for defenseman J.J. Moser with an AAV of $6.75 million that begins in 2026-27 and runs through 2033-34.
- Because injuries sidelined top defensemen Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh, Moser has averaged a team-high 21:43 of ice time across 34 games, earning trust from Lightning coach Jon Cooper.
- Data show that in his last six appearances, Moser recorded two goals, five points, and was plus-nine, with Natural Stat Trick data indicating teammates perform better with him on the ice, including Raddysh at 65.08% expected-goals-for versus 43.39% without him.
- The move secures Moser as the sixth-highest-paid on the Lightning roster and locks in the defensive core for at least three more seasons, easing Julien BriseBois's summer decisions.
- Moser, acquired in 2024, is in the final year of a two-year deal, with his extension kicking in next year before he joins Switzerland for the Olympics as one of 11 active Swiss NHL players.
