Prediction
1 (Promoted) - Hungary
2 - South Korea
3 - Lithuania
4 - Netherlands
5 - Estonia
6 (Relegated) - Croatia
Despite being relegated last year, Hungary wasn't over-matched in Division I. They should be able to fend off the rest of the group and find their way back up to the higher division. South Korea should poise a challenge, as they are developing for 2018. Lithuanian will medal on their home soil, but it's likely to be bronze-coloured. The Netherlands is a bit of a dark horse, but will likely settle for fourth place. The battle for relegation will be between Estonia and Croatia. Estonia did enough to stay up last year, and might do just enough this year to stay once again. Croatia will have a fight on their hands, but in the end may end up being sent back to Group B.
