I like this move, although admittedly, I lean a bit more to being a Vancouver fan. But I think that Toronto needs someone like Hassli (although, as you say, not as badly as they need defenders), and Vancouver has made him dispensable with their recent moves. I have always liked Hassli, and even though he takes a lot of stupid yellow cards, he is a big, old fashioned striker who loves to strike the ball.
Toronto's focus is obviously "fix it now", whereas Vancouver has the rare opportunity to build while they are actually in a good position in the standings.
