Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of appealing options in-season this year. You covered pretty much all of them.
If we're keeping Freddie and Lehner's not available, Crawford does have some appeal purely as a rental this season. Average-ish numbers this year and last, so he'd be a decent upgrade on Hutchinson at least. Also comes with a Cup and plenty of playoff experience on his resume.
You'd have to think he'd be fairly cheap to acquire too. But Chicago would have to take back Ceci and/or retain money on Crawford to make it work.
