In his current living arrangements, 25-year-old Chris Wideman is the old guy in the house.
But that hasn't stopped him from getting, and eating up, the advice of his roommates.
Both Mark Stone, 23, and Curtis Lazar, 20, were in similar standing with the Senators a year ago. Both had a good chance of making the team, but neither could sign up for a phone with a 613 area code at training camp.
As it turned out, not only did they survive final cuts, but Stone went on to tie Kyle Turris for the scoring lead among Senators forwards and also become one of the team's best all round players.
