Seems unlikely. The Greens did well in Kent (due to fracking) and Tantramar (due to Mount Allison) in 2014, but I don't think they have enough raw appeal in any other riding to win one. In the craziest scenario the Greens maybe pick up Saint John Harbour if it splits evenly four ways, otherwise I think Coon is on his own again. He's likely done enough to keep his seat.
A more likely scenario is Coon and Austin both getting in, thereby holding the balance of power themselves if combined.
For me eyes are going to be on:
- Moncton Centre to see how much Collins splits the Liberal vote.
- Saint Croix to see if Thompson can win that seat for the PCs.
- Saint John Harbour because it's always a toss-up.
- Fredericton-Grand Lake to see if Austin can get PANB a seat.
- Tracadie-Sheila to see if PCs can win it back.
- Campbellton-Dalhousie & Shediac-Beaubassin-Cap-Pele to see how much those Liberal incumbents carried those ridings.
