There's really not SO much left. VAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD.

Jon's resolution, with the upcoming surprise and a scene or two showing the aftermath, including a couple of relevant conversations with a certain man and a certain woman. 15 minutes, isn't that fair?

Bran and company arrive at the tree and meet the entity that summoned him there. Although this scene is important, it's also pretty straight-forward, so I'd say another 5 minutes, maybe a bit more?

Then, the Hound &  Arya  will meet  Brienne & Pod,  according to the promo (you see what is definitely  Brienne's  armor in a shot with the Hound and  Arya .)  Brienne's  actress also said she would bite someone's ear off; now we can assume that is the Hound. So, another 10 minutes in total for the two pairs of adventurers,  including  Arya's  resolution and setup for her next storyline.

​ Daenerys'  big scene with her dragons, another 10 minutes at most.

They'll probably wrap up  Yara Greyjoy's slim presence this season with a certain event that has been delayed long enough, setting up the big Greyjoy  storyline. So, 5 minutes?

King's Landing will probably take the rest of it, with about 20 minutes of arguing (the promo shows  Cersei  shouting at  Tywin  and Jaime and  Cersei  kissing) and  Tyrion's  resolution.

All of that adds up to 65 minutes. Maybe they don't need 15 whole minutes for the Wall or 20 for King's Landing, and that time is more wisely spent in the previously mentioned lingering threads, particularly Bran,  Brienne  and  Yara. The  Boltons  and  Sansa  had a perfect resolution in episode 8, I doubt we'll see them again. If LS is included as a cliffhanger, that shouldn't take more than a few minutes. So that's it. 66 minutes; long enough to wrap everything up, in my opinion.
