Honestly, I think Stormwind Champion might become a playable 7-drop. Its out of BGH range, ok stats and a good effect. The only issue is that its a "win more" card, but I think it'll see some playtime in midrange decks.
I don't think there's really any neutral 7 drops that are playable. Obviously, that could change with the next release and the meta shift, but part of why Dr. Boom was so ubiquitious is that it's a great minion in a slot that has nothing in it.
Speaking of BGH, does it still see play with Boom gone? Boom was the most common target for BGH, and the fact that Boom was in every deck was why BGH was so common. With Boom gone, a lot of deck may very well have no targets. Especially since Handlock has become a lot more rare, so there's fewer giants to hit with it.
