Who will wield Heartsbane?

With no males left in Sam's family to claim it, and since the show made a point in showing us the sword and Sam snitching it, it seems clear that somebody will use it in the fight against the White Walkers.
So who you think would be? I'm discarding Sam, he'll never be a warrior. No Sansa, Davos or Tyrion either for the very same reasons. Arya lacks the strenght and the training to use adequately a bastard sword.
Jon has Longclaw, Brienne, Oathkeeper, Jaime, Widow's Wail. Gendry has no use for swords. Grey Worm favors spear and short swords. He probably never trained the westeroosi swordfighting style ayway.
Beric and Thoros have their own flaming swords. I guess they wouldn't be unhappy to switch to a Valeryan steel one, but I think they are not long for this world anyway.
So, the way I see it, the more likely contenders would be in decreasing order: Jorah, the Hound, Tormund, Theon, Pod and Dolourous Edd. Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, or offer new contenders if you will.
