Actualy, all those players are the same type... scoring centers who are skill players. They all play a similar role on their teams. No they aren't twins. They all have their own unique style. But that can be said of every single pro player on the planet. When defining what TYPE of player they are, you are looking for how they fit in on their team. All these guys are 1st line type centres. They are all relied upon to generate offence; not to rack up penalty minutes and lay open ice hits. Just like Ribeiro and Urquhart. Urquhart does for the Rocket what a Ribeiro does in Montreal.
No you can't compare Mario to those other players though. Lemieux is a franchise player, one of the best of all time. You don't put him in the same category as Ribeiro.
