There's no question that there are tens of MPAs and MNAs looking to jump ship. But picking up electables and denying more loyal members tickets is not so easily done. Besides, nobody jumps ship without some life jacket on or without a rescuer in sight. These folks will only jump when either they have commitments from PPP or PML that they will be accommodated, or when IK's ship is about to flip imminently, in which case it'll be pandemonium.
If what's being predicted turns out to be accurate (still not a certainty at this stage), government allies will flee and their own MNA/MPAs will flee, in fact I bet that in that situation, even some current ministers will run.
I have no doubt more than half the MNAs and MPAs would jump ship in next election if given party tickets. The group formed around jahangeer tareen should be a prime example. Problem is everyone is waiting for a signal from GHQ which will never come. PPP has a better chance of absorbing electables than PMLN.
