There may well be riots if the show kills off Lyanna Mormont this year. The Lady of Bear Island became an instant fan-favourite in Season 6, and is likely to have a slightly bigger part this year (though hopefully they don't go overboard just because of the reception to her). Despite being a child she's tougher than just about anyone else in the North, and with that area in relative safety until the White Walkers invade, she should be fine.

The other Northern Lords are a little more mixed. The likes of Lords Manderly, Cerwyn, and Glover were important to Jon's hold on the North (though that should be secure with the Boltons gone), but could be killed if either of them go with him Beyond-the-Wall. Alys Karstark, a new arrival for Season 7 (coming much later than in the books) should be an interesting addition, and quite useful to the political landscape of the North, meaning she'll survive...for now.

Prediction: Mormont and Karstark survive, with Manderly, Glover, and Cerwyn in a bit more danger.
