Definitely several, but a lot will hinge on Green candidate quality.
Holt's own seat of Fredericton South-Silverwood and the open Saint John Harbour are top of the list by default. Hard to say until we get a couple more polls and Green candidates.
It's not like a post-election 'add the red and green votes together and that's what the Liberals would have won without vote splitting' analysis is of much value. Sure, seats where PCs win by ~3 points and the Greens get 15% would absolutely be vote splitting causing Liberal losses. Less so with seats where the PC margin and the Green total are in the same ballpark.
