Backlund is the better center, Monahan is the better offensive player, so Backlund playing center and Monahan playing wing puts both players in better positions.
Frankly I think if they communicate well, whoever is in position at either end takes that spot in the given play. They are both high IQ players IMO so it should be possible.
