One Line Previews
Belarus: Interesting to see how basically Dinamo U20 plus a few players will work, hope to stay up after being promoted last year.
Czech Republic: More of a darkhorse team, might have a hard time finding a spot in the medal round.
Finland: Definitely have some weapons, will be interested to see how far they go.
Russia: Have arguably the best goalie in the tournament in Samsonov, should have no problem ending the tournament with a medal.
Slovakia: Unlikely to have the repeat goaltending from last year, still a darkhorse team though.
