I didn't even read all of the posts in this thread, but no, Lapierre is nothing like Kesler. Kesler does this thing where he can see other players on the ice and maybe anticipate that they may get into a scoring position and do this crazy thing called a pass. He's also a horse down the middle, smartly checking and shadowing the opponents best players. Lapierre can be great on the boards and the fore-check but would you put him out to make sure Spezza or Savard or Vanek don't score? There's a reason why a lot of people think Lapierre should be a winger in the NHL and comparing him to Kesler is actually a perfect way to help further prove that point.
