Yeah, 2 teams goes up. So big chance for the poles.

they made it!

We have a great chance of staying in the Elite - says Krystian Dziubiński

I really think it's too early to tell. So much can change in the course of a year. They have some interesting younger players that can make a difference, if the veterans can stay healthy and in form staying up is possible.

It's more of a case that the captain can't just say "yeah, we are going down for sure". Poland staying up would be a borderline miracle. GB was seen as the weakest in the elite for years and even they, objectively, are a notch above Poland.

Not even gonna talk about the whole age situation.

as you say, much can happen in 1 year. but just looking at stats, there is several players who was not even on this years team that could be added to next years team and provide more scoring depth:

D.Lewandowski
Chmielewski
Mroczkowski
Cichy
Kapica
Sawicki
Urbanowicz
Kowalówka
Komorski
Bryk
Tyczyński
Szczechura

 

[Albatros]

They're the relegation favorites for sure, but in the end they only need to be better than one other team. And they can still hope that it's not the nominally weakest team that goes down this year.
