I think it is reasonable some players are not robots and do go out and have some fun, and over time they slow down a bit.

Regardless of whether it's partying or something else, Boston must know something about Seguin that for them has turned what is generally recognized as one of the most valuable assets a team can have (a highly talented, young centre with lots of potential) into a player they wanted to get rid of asap. It's not because he's young and partying that I think he's high risk, it's because I believe in the competence of the Bruins to assess players and build a successful team. Their judgment that Seguin, who should be considered invaluable, is actually a player they needed to get rid of suggests that he's high risk.
All that said, he could still be great and the payout for taking the chance could be great for Dallas, but the Flames are in a very sensitive development stage and I think it's better they stick to a plan, exercise patience and build carefully.
