Additional non-stops due to NW/Delta merger?

Much was made in the local media today about YXE being one of the few
Canadian airports to record an increase in volume, January over January.
Only the second month in the airport's history with 100,000+
passengers. The UA YXE-DEN non-stops that started last September get
the credit.

So, here's my question. We're already served by Northwest (to MSP).
Does anybody here think that we (or YWG, another
Northwest-but-not-Delta, MSP-only airport) might get SLC non-stops after
the merger goes through? I know that non-stops to ATL are asking a
little much. TIA.
