Probably the British team

GB basically with the complete roster they have some years now and especially with Liam Kirk in is maybe the top fav, however Jukka Jalonen´s ugly but super efficient anti-hockey catenaccio will surely put Italy especially with Clara in the net and their new americano-italiano reinforcements armada especially in the defense among the main favs for promotion

 

If I have to bet a penny I would go with 1. GB, 2. ITA for the promotion

 

Poland changed completely their roster, plenty of old guards retired after last year worlds which was the epic end of their long long years journey, and Poles will have to rely on newer interantionally not tested generation, gonna be a tough tough test to beat Italy and/or GB

 

Romania with new and naturalized reinforcements should maybe repeat last year suprising journey and stay again in this division.

 

Ukraine with lot of passion and motivation will battle again every cm of the ice but I am afraid their match against Japan will be the decider whom will drop back to I B next year, It may be a quite open game with Japan having perhaps better roster of the two...

Ukraine has made progress recently and lost yesterday on penalties to the UK, but that still doesn't explain why the Italian team isn't making any progress. We are sitting in a lower division for 3 years and that's with a ban for Rus and Blr. New and great coaches are being brought in and it's not giving any results. 8-10 years ago we were regularly playing in the highest division, every 2 years and that was with a much stronger teams (Russia and Belarus were there). I don't know where the problem is.
