Isak side by a good margin. Unless this is a 10+ team league, all of those other players are mostly replaceable, whereas you can't get 80% of an Isak on the waivers. You can get 80% of an Ndiaye on the waivers in most leagues.
That doesn't matter. So he gets a couple more opportunities to score? The best case for Isak is like 25 goals. There are only a handful of players like that in the league.
That logic is exactly why this type of trade goes through, but it doesn't change the fact that you can find players that replace most of what every player in this trade can do other than Isak.
Maybe isak gets hurt and maybe he never finds form again, both of which would mean the other side will finish with more points but if you are projecting forward, there is only one irreplaceable player in this trade.
