I agree, Belarus and Germany should find their way back up. However, after getting promoted to the top flight of the u18 last year I think Denmark might be a surprise team. Not enough to get promoted of course but maybe 3rd or even 2nd in Group A. Italy and Hungary will find their way to Division II.

I'll take Japan and Hungary to go down. The German's may struggle for offence but should stay up. Belarus will probably tear thru their group as long as there is some semblance of goaltending.
