New Lightning Defender Becoming Massive Piece

During this past off-season, the Tampa Bay Lightning acquired defenseman J.J. Moser from the Utah Hockey Club as a part of the Mikhail Sergachev trade. While trading a star like Sergachev naturally stung, Moser is filling in beautifully with the Lightning so far.

Moser has become a major part of the Lightning's blueline, as he currently plays on the top pairing with Victor Hedman. In addition, he sees time on the Lightning's power play.

When noting that Moser is still just 24 years old, he has plenty of time to hit an even higher level as he continues to adjust to the Lightning's system. Thus, it is hard not to feel some real excitement about the left-shot defenseman.

In his first 15 games with the Bolts, Moser has two goals, six points, and a plus-6 rating. Overall, he has provided some solid offense from the point, but he also is playing steady defensively.

From here, it will be fascinating to see how Moser builds off his solid start with the Bolts.
