Prediction
1 (Promoted) - Denmark
2 - Latvia
3 - Belarus
4 - Austria
5 - Slovenia
6 (Relegated) - Poland
From the looks of things it'll be Denmark and Latvia battling it out to not be in Division I for next year (pretty hard to say that whomever wins stays in the main tournament for more than a year). I'm more high on the Danish team than I am on the most Latvian team to ever be Latvia. After finishing 2nd last year, I see Belarus taking a step back and finishing 3rd. Austria and Slovenia are interchangeable, but I'll give the Austrians the nod this year. I doubt Poland has a chance in this group, and will be relegated back to Group B.
