I think it's going to continue growing as a connecting hub. It will need to do so in order to fend off WN's expansion plans out of FLL.
It would probably require the following and the goal would be to eventually challenging AA's MIA hub
1) Add a lot of A321NEO/LRs to FLL
2) Start flying to deeper and more lucrative south american destinations like GRU, GIG, BRA, LIM. Just an idea of where they can reach with A321LR out of FLL.

3) Connect more dots and add more frequencies domestically out of FLL.
4) Add more mint flights from LAX to FLL to attract premium traffic out of west coast to South America
In the same way, BOS may become more of a connecting hub once it starts adding TATL routes.
