Yeah, my man Marty gets a bad shake, but he's actually a pretty good comparison to Jake. Let's just hope Jake has better off-ice luck.
Straka is my second favourite player of all time. Very under appreciated guy. Like Jake, he had his own big playoff moments (just on a worse overall team). Like previously stated, he did finish 4th in scoring with 95 points (one point off the top 3 that year) plus he also had an 83 point season in the heart of the dead pick era (11th in the league). Guentzel is currently 36th in league scoring. I'd also say Straka was better defensively than Jake. It's too bad he had such bad injury luck (where have I seen that before?)
Having said that, Jake is still very young and he's doing all the right things. His game fits Crosby's like a glove which as we've all seen isn't exactly easy for any player to do.
