I don't think he cares about the backlash very much though, it's not like that is the only trade he's ever done that includes sacrificing future development in order to win now. Vegas probably hired him because of his record with a perennial winning team with the hopes he could make the team competitive right off the bat, and the guy is probably gonna do a pretty good job with that too. Not saying that this makes it certain Brouwer, Callahan or anyone else will be picked, just that it's not that far fetched to think that he could look to grab a bunch of bad contracts in order to get a veteran group on the ice. Another difference from Callahan is that McPhee knows Brouwer very well from the Caps, and he could possibly even be looking at Brouwer as captain material for the Golden Knights.
