Another top Line Option?

UPDATE: I should have reworded what I wrote before and said that this is why I like Dubinsky-Richards-Ganorik as a top line. I apologize if I mislead you folks in anyway.
After reviewing the Rangers’ lines that I came up with a few days ago, there is another top line trio option being bandied about by both the media and the team itself.
How does a top line of Brandon Dubinsky-Brad Richards-Marian Gaborik look to you? While it may disturb some fans because it separates Dubinsky from Ryan Callahan, it is actually a line that could be one of the league’s best if given the right amount of time to gel.
In Richards, the Rangers have the perfect playmaking center. Richards would have two solid scorers to get the puck to while also having a player that can protect both himself and Gaborik in Dubinsky.
With Marian Gaborik, the Blueshirts have someone who has cracked the 40-goal mark with the team before and is someone who now has a No. 1 center to play with. If Dubinsky manages to get a chance on the line, it may also relieve some pressure off of Gaborik.
