They might be a tad weaker, but it's not like From and True were completely dominant like when they lost Bjorkstrand and Ehlers. Krag Christensen and Blichfeld are solid players who will take that 19 year old mantle from From and True as well as Rondberg getting better and more experienced. Not sure they have the younger guys coming to to replace the secondary roles. Oliver True maybe. And they do still have a goalie who played really solidly last year in Krog. Expecting any Denmark team(even the same one they had last year if they did it again) to repeat the 2nd play group performance they put up last year would not be realistic as they obviously had a lot of things go their way. But I'd say they're in with a pretty solid shot to beat Slovakia. Worst case I can't see them losing to Belarus twice, and I think they might be fairly evenly matched with a weaker Swiss team this year.
Belarus are going to be better than people think, I like them more on paper than Denmark right now, their top end is better. The Swiss have a projected 1rd pick in the upcoming draft in Kurashev, so they should be safe. Slovakia look decent this time, so I don't think they will win that game.
I agree that they have a solid shot to beat Slovakia. I think a player like Oliver True can come in and be decent but I think he is a year away from making an impact at this level. Jake Schmidt is currently leading the USHL in scoring so I could see him maybe slotting into the lineup. I'm definitely excited to see if Blichfeld, Krag and Rondbjerg can carry this team and play some meaningful games.
This is my guess:
Rondbjerg - Krag Christensen - Blichfeld
Lucas Andersen - Madsen - Jake Schmidt-Svejstrup
Daniel Nielsen - Wejse - True
Ahlberg - Pedersen - Molge
Schultz
Setkov - Larsen
Andersen - Mogensen
Heine - Mortensen
Jessen
Krog
Gransoe
Adamsen

eliteprospects Denmark U20 (all)
couldn't find an official camp roster so this is the best I can do to get an idea of who might be playing.
Denmark don't have the D that Belarus do, forwards are comparable, though I'd still give Belarus the edge there.

Rondbjerg and Setkov seems to be playing quite well in the SHL, it'll be interesting to follow this team.
I believe this is the roster announcement from the danish hockey federation website
U20-landsholdet: 30 spillere tilbage i VM-bruttotruppen
And the google translate version of that page
The U20 national team's gross squad for the World Cup is now thin up to 30 players, announcing head coach Olaf Eller and the coach. - We are now closer to the 26, who will attend the pre-camp in St. Petersburg. Catherines (Canada) and Rochester (United States). Pt. the squad consists of 30 players and therefore another cut will be made before the 13th of December, it is apparent from the coach who now has the following players in the picture.
Goalkeepers (5): Albert Adamsen (Herning Blue Fox) Kasper Lautrup Krog (SønderjyskE) Mads Søgaard (Austin Bruins) Mads-Emil Marius Gransøe (Topeka Roadrunners) William Rørth (Rødovre)

Adamsen, Rørth, Daniel Baastrup and Lukas Nielsen have been cut from that list. Another cut will follow.
The team is not as good a last year but do have some assets: Røndbjerg is a regular SHL-player, Svejstrup is leading top scorer in the USHL. Blichfeldt is PPG-player in WHL. David Madsen had 12 minuts on the Växjö SHL team yesterday. Most of the D-men have good size...

We have a saying in Denmark: "The broadest shoulders should carry the heaviest burdens". So yes, the 4 NHL drafted players; Malte Setkov, Joachim Blichfeld, Jonas Røndbjerg and Nikolaj Krag as well as the current top scorer in the USHL; Jacob Svejstrup have an obligation to play their very best if the Danish team shall have any chance to avoid relegation.

Im gutted that Oliver Gatz is not with them this year. He played so well in last years WJC. Is he still injured or havent he found his groove again?
One of the most positive things in last years WJC was all the blueliners. I hope they can deliver this year also and I feel this is a key for us to stay up. (I know only Oliver Larsen was with us last year)
Players I look forward to watching closer:
Malte Setkov. Just signed with Malmö seniors, who I follow quite close. His development seems to have rocketed and I have high expectations for him to continue that way.
Jacob Svejstrup. I must admit, since he has played in USA the last few years that I have very limited knowledge about him. Leading in both points and goals in USHL he must be worth watching and hopefully he can contribute to our limited offense.
David Madsen. There is something about this kid. He just keeps improving and now have regular apperances in SHL. A guy that has went under the radar for quite some time. I think his work ethics must be through the roof, because from what I have read, his abilites in skating and stickhandling are not superior in any way.
Lucas Andersen will also be followed closely as will the three NHL drafted players, Røndbjerg, Blichfeld and Krag.
Im a bit worried about our goalies, but thats due to minimal knowledge about them.

The Danish lineup for tonight's training game against Canada:
* Jacob Jessen, Oliver Larsen – Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup, Valdemar Ahlberg, David Madsen
* Malte Setkov, Lasse Mortensen – Joachim Blichfeld, Nikolaj Krag (A), Jonas Røndbjerg
* Jeppe Urup, Rasmus Heine – Daniel Nielsen (A), Christian Wejse (C), Lucas Andersen
* Lasse Carlsen, Christian Larsen – Magnus Molge, Andreas Grundtvig, Oliver True
Much will depend on the first 2 lines ability to compete. The last two lines are clearly shot down lines.
The profiles; David Madsen, Jonas Røndbjerg and Nikolaj Krag will be exchanged with Asger Petersen, Philip Schultz and Christoffer Gath in the second half of the game, to give all players on the roster a chance to feel the ice.
Goaltender will be Emil Gransøe with Mads Søgaard as backup.

An impressive Danish victory by the way. I didn't see the game, but according to coach Olaf Eller, the Danish team played much better in this game than against Canada. Specially the defense was much improved. It is the 3rd time out of 4 in the last 4 years that the Danish team beats Switzerland.
