On Sunday, the opening of free agency, the Bruins took care of some housekeeping. They registered the contracts of Tuukka Rask, Chris Kelly, and prospect Alexander Khokhlachev on the first day they were eligible to do so.

Otherwise, as promised, the Bruins were quiet on one of the league’s busiest days.

“I don’t anticipate anything happening today based on what’s happened up until this point,” said general manager Peter Chiarelli during an afternoon conference call. “I said prior that I’m not actively looking for anything. If there’s something that can improve our team, we’ll consider anything. With the secondary market, we’ll take the same approach. I’m not actively looking, whether it’s with the secondary market in free agency or with respect to trades. We’ll continue to look at that stuff, but I’m not actively looking.”

On previous market openings, the Bruins had specific targets in mind. Chiarelli referenced the July 1, 2008, signing of Michael Ryder, when they identified the right wing and pursued him aggressively for his services. No such player was available Sunday.

“We didn’t have a player like that this year to get right off the hop,” Chiarelli said. “That speaks to how we feel about our team and who we want to test the waters with.”

Chiarelli kicked the tires on several forwards Sunday. But those inquiries did not gain much traction. With less than $3 million available in cap space, the Bruins were looking at depth forwards who could skate on the third line. Forwards who fit that profile were Brandon Prust, Arron Asham, and Tanner Glass, who respectively signed with the Canadiens, Rangers, and Penguins.
