What will be the new OP in PvP Pet battling?

So what do you guys think will break through as the new OP meta pet in PvP pet battling in Legion?

I can see the infamous Celestial calf easily becoming one of the better tank pets in the game with Wish and Stoneskin, on a level with Magical Crawdad. Also Nightmare Whelpling looking like a full on damage dealer.

Otherwise I can't find anything that stands out. What are your guesses?

I looked at it before, but without breeds and stats it's really hard to say.

I hope they don't introduce more power creep. We had more then enough of that in WoD to last for three expansions.

[pet]Broot[/pet] could be a problem - maybe not in the direct OP sense, but in shifting the game towards a Sunlight/Photosynthesis meta, which would be terribly boring.

Typically potential problem pets are the ones that enable broken combos, like Murkalot with Righteous Inspiration. The game already has a lot of powerful pets in all sorts of categories, so I doubt we'll see a lot of new pets outshine our current set in terms of raw power or stronger movesets. Look for things that can enable broken combos, that's my tip.
