You're right that he could regress, but that holds true for every player...

People say he could end up like Heatley because he was an elite scoring winger with fitness/conditioning issues and his play fell off a cliff after he turned 30. I could see Kessel's career going in a similar direction if his conditioning doesn't improve.
