Meanwhile, Aho and Marner have no comparables. There have been no similar players (age, size and scoring rate in the league they played in). Ever.

Not sure about Aho, but besides size Strome and Marner had similar stats this year.
If you take out Marner's small size you can find comparables if you adjust for team/scoring levels - Dylan Strome, Toffoli, Ryan Strome, Cody Hodsgon. Marner scored at a higher level than those guys, but the league scoring is up and he plays with a bunch of 1st/2nd round NHL picks while the others didn't (i.e Toffoli led the lead in scoring in his +1 year, Marner was second in PPG). So really unless you consider being small a good thing, there's comparables out there.
