Estonias roster is as good as it can be as everyone accepted the invite. Most notable players are Maxim Burkov, David Timofejev and I have high hopes for the goalie Vladimirov. Estonia also has 11 returning skaters.

Estonia has to drop 3 more skaters from its roster and I predict they will be 08-09 born players. But still it seems like Estonia is gonna be by far the youngest team here.

I predict Estonia to be pretty much equal to Poland, Korea and maybe they will challenge Italy. Japan and Ukraine should be ahead of the rest.

Will be cool to see Haponenko, Kosarev & Levshyn at the U20 level, they were all very strong last year at the D1A U18s. No Pazii will hurt but hoping for promotion this year for sure. Anyone know what Japans roster will look like?

I'm not sure what exactly I expected from Ukraine when I was looking at eligible players around the globe a while back, but now that I see this roster come together I feel underwhelmed a bit. Still a good team, but I guess I wanted to feel more confident about their chances to get promoted.

Japan beat Estonia 3-1 in a friendly. Was quite an ugly game with lots of penalties, but overall Japan was faster.
