The missing piece for me is Lightbringer. I just can't see how Longclaw becomes Lightbringer (unless there's something about the Mormonts that I've totally missed).

I still think Lightbringer is sitting in a vault in Starfall, waiting for Jon to come of age. It's just too many coincidences. Dawn was last wielded by Arthur Dayne, on the day Jon was born, and at the place where Jon was born, in defense of Jon and his mother. Ned, with baby Jon, delivered Dawn back to Ashara Dayne at Starfall. Today, Samwell is at Oldtown, where I think he discovers information that leads him to search for Lightbringer at Starfall (which is just a short trip from Oldtown), before heading back to the wall.

And the fact that Dawn and lifebringer are kind of the same type of word
