At this point, the show should just kill the direwolves and be done with it, because at least then it'd be giving them something to do (and having them appearing at all).

The story started with the Starks finding the direwolves, so there'd be a sense of things coming full circle if they were to die at its end, and if they're gonna go, then Winterfell is the best location for it. They even had Ghost appear, for about one second, just to remind us they have remembered him in time for this battle.

Direwolves, the sigil of House Stark, dying at the seat of the Starks is some great symbolism, but it'd also be a means of allowing the pack to survive: have Ghost, Nymeria, and her wolf pack all fighting on the battlefield, killing wights and saving the Stark children one last time.

Chance Of Death: 8/10 (If they even appear)
