Rahimi spent the 2005-06 campaign playing for Bjorkloven in the Swedish hockey system.
3rd round (82nd overall), 2006 by VAN
2006-07: The big Swede returned to Bjorkloven for another season, appearing in 33 games, racking up two points and 104 penalty minutes. Following the elimination of the team from the playoffs, Rahimi traversed the Atlantic to appear in one regular season and four playoff games with the Manitoba Moose. It was a rocky start, but the fact that he came over is reassuring for his future.
2007-08: Rahimi came to North America and began his journey to the NHL with a very average performance at the Canucks’ rookie camp where top talent like Alexander Edler and the tragically deceased Luc Bourdon significantly outperformed him. Rahimi did not take to the more physical North American game as well as anticipated and while he did play the bulk of his games (41 in the AHL), he did played 19 times with the Victoria Salmon Kings.
Traded to Vancouver, August 2009
