If so what round will he be selected in the draft?
Yes, he'll almost certainly be selected. Probably somewhere between the second and fourth round of the draft. Martin Reway could go in the later rounds too. I remember hearing that there's a good 1995 born defenseman playing in Slovakia who could be drafted too, ala Gernat.

i would guess you mean Martin Bobos. i think i've seen his name somewhere too
His birthday is Nov 30, 1994 according to Elite Prospects. That means he was almost eligible last year, so this is his draft year. He'll only be a junior-aged player for one more season.
He is a really intriguing prospect, he isn't the biggest guy but the size doesn't affect him, he still is gritty, battles and goes to the tough areas.
He's a good skater and has good hands and a good shot.
I think he will be a 2nd or 3rd rounder.
From what I saw during the tournament, I would have no problem with the Canucks taking Dano in the 1st round.
Gritty, fearless, competetive, hard shot, good vision, skates well and seems like a very smart player that reads the play well. Looked a bit like Joe Pavelski IMO.
Don't see this kid lasting past the 1st rd. Will be a huge riser between now and the draft IMO.
3rd rounder, Tatar-like player. I doubt he will rise between now and draft. He's playing 4th line and is not good enough to get bigger icetime.
How many 17 year olds play at the top end of a KHL roster?
Never seen Dano play besides the WJC's but his skillset looks like it would translate very well to the pro game in N. America. The guy always looked good in traffic and never stopped competing - a key to succeeding in the AHL/NHL.

Perhaps, personally I really like William Carrier for our 1st.
He's a pretty big guy who is a good skater and is the complete offensive package, he's rippin up the Q with 42 points in 32 games on a terrible team (Cape Breton) He is also a very hardworker and does have a mind for the defensive side of the game aswell.
I think he could be the perfect playmaker to go along with Jensen in the future, both have size and speed, Carrier would be the playmaker and Jensen could be the finisher.
3rd rounder, Tatar-like player. I doubt he will rise between now and draft. He's playing 4th line and is not good enough to get bigger icetime.
There is big difference between Tatar and Dano. Tatar is better skater, not faster but quicker, Dano has hardly average speed and average foot speed.
Dano is also lazy lacking intensity on many shifts while Tatar always played with passion and strong effort.

I think that someone will take him in second.
Personally I donīt like him much, donīt think there is plenty of space for his improvement in future(barring defensive game). He never wonīt be bottom six forward and donīt think he is good enough for top six role. Maybe on weaker team but not on good team.
Thatīs my opinion, could be wrong.
Watching the world junior games I noticed the announcers, every two seconds: "Marko Dano, Marko Dano, Marko Dano, Marko Dano, Marko Dano"
When he's on the ice you hear his name ALOT. I always take that as a sign that a player has a high level of involvement in all three zones. Guys like that tend to be special players.
I know it sounds like something silly to go on but I've noticed this tendency with guys like Claude Giroux, Mike Richards, Ryan McDonagh, Ryan Getzlaf, just to name a few. All really good players.
Now I'm not saying Dano will be as good as those guys, but I think his tendency to make himself noticed speaks to the type of player he is. He's not a follower on the ice, he's a leader. He takes charge, he makes a difference. I think there's alot of upside with this type of player.

Absolutely. Dano showed excellent hockey sense - constantly in passing lanes breaking up plays and going to all the right areas in the offensive zone. The guy was a force all over the ice.
Dano was one of the best draft elibigle players I saw in the tournament. Looked much better than Nathan McKinnon IMO.
Surprised he isn't getting more attention. Would take him in the 1st round.
