Moore had a solid, if unspectacular, season on the blue line for a Devils team that exceeded expectations, registering 97 points and making the playoffs. He posted 18 points and was a plus-3 in a career-high 81 games.
The 27-year-old had expressed a desire to remain in New Jersey and help the team improve further.
Moore has also played for the Rangers, Coyotes and Blue Jackets in an eight-year career.
