2025-26 season: 79 GP, 7 G, 22 A, 29 PTS, +41 +/-, 21:34 TOI. WAR 1.6 (37th of 325) · PAL 76, very good.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 70 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
J.J. Moser's story
At 16, J.J. Moser broke into organized junior hockey with EHC Biel, captaining their Junior Elite A side in 2017–18 and earning his first National League minutes that same season. Those early appearances were brief—two games and a single assist—but they prefaced a swift rise to a regular role the following year.
In 2018–19 he became a steady presence for Biel, playing 43 regular-season games (7 assists) and another 12 playoff contests (2 assists). On 10 April 2019 he signed his first professional two-year deal with Biel, which included an NHL out clause for 2020–21. Biel extended his contract early on 13 October 2020, adding three more years to keep him with the club through 2023–24.
Selected 60th overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, Moser inked a three-year entry-level contract on 14 August 2021. He started 2021–22 in the AHL with Tucson, where 5 goals and 12 points in 18 games earned him a recall in December after Jakob Chychrun was placed on injured reserve. Moser made his NHL debut on 15 December and scored his first two NHL goals on 28 December.
The 2022–23 season saw him appear in all 82 games, establishing himself as a regular component of Arizona’s defence. Following organizational changes that left the Coyotes inactive, he was transferred to the Utah Hockey Club and then traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning on 29 June 2024 as part of a package for Mikhail Sergachev. Moser signed a two-year, $6.75 million deal with the Lightning on 11 July and midway through 2025–26 agreed to an eight-year, $54 million extension; at that point he had totaled 3 goals and 9 assists for 12 points in 34 games.
Internationally, Moser has represented Switzerland at junior and senior levels. He played at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship in Vancouver, where Switzerland finished fourth, and returned for the 2020 tournament. He made his senior national-team debut in February 2019 and was selected for the 2019 World Championship before a wrist injury against Austria ended his participation. He rejoined the Swiss squad for the 2020 and 2021 Worlds, was added late to the 2025 World Championship roster as the team reached the final (1–0 OT loss to the United States), and was named to Switzerland’s 2026 Olympic roster on 7 January 2026.
On the ice, Moser plays from the blue line with mobility and a capacity to contribute offensively while handling defensive duties, a profile that helped him move quickly from Switzerland’s NL to the NHL.
