J.J. Moser signed a two-year, $6.75 million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. It has an average annual value of $3.375 million.

The 24-year-old defenseman was a restricted free agent and avoided a salary arbitration hearing. Moser was acquired in a trade with the Utah Hockey Club on June 29 along with forward Conor Geekie and two draft picks for defenseman Mikhail Sergachev.

Last season, Moser recorded a total of 26 points, with five goals and 21 assists, during his 80 games played for the Arizona Coyotes.

Moser, who was chosen by Arizona as the 60th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, has accumulated a total of 72 points (16 goals and 56 assists) throughout 205 regular-season games.
