==Personal life==

After playing with the junior and senior teams of [[IF Björklöven]] in [[Sweden]], Rahimi was selected 82nd Overall in the third round of the [[2006 NHL Entry Draft]] by the [[Vancouver Canucks]]. Rahimi was scouted as a stay-at-home defenceman, drafted on the recommendation of the Canucks Swedish scout and former player [[Thomas Gradin]].<ref name=province>{{Citeweb|title=A year makes a difference|url=http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=3286ef91-3657-47cf-aa90-ec410cb445c9|accessdate=2008-09-19|date=2008-09-18|publisher=[[The Province]]}}</ref>
Rahimi was selected 82nd Overall in the third round of the [[2006 NHL Entry Draft]] by the [[Vancouver Canucks]].


Upon being drafted, he returned to IF Björklöven in 2006–07, then joined the [[Manitoba Moose]], the Canucks' [[American Hockey League|AHL]] affiliate, for the playoffs once his season in [[HockeyAllsvenskan]] had finished. In [[2007–08 AHL season|2007–08]], he split the season between the Moose and the [[Victoria Salmon Kings]], the Canucks' [[East Coast Hockey League|ECHL]] affiliate.
Rahimi has great size for a teenager at 6'3", 213 lbs and plays a defensively-focused game. He is considered to be the protypical stay-at-home defensive defenceman, who makes safe plays over more riskier plays. He finished the 2006–07 season with the [[Manitoba Moose]] in the [[American Hockey League|AHL]], after his season with [[IF Björklöven]] in the [[Allsvenskan (ice hockey)|Allsvenskan]] came to an end.

==Personal life==
Furthermore, Rahimi is known for his big hits and very physical play. Rahimi is known to have a very aggressive mean streak, which results in him being [[penalty|penal]]ized very often; Rahimi racked up 278 penalty minutes in 124 games with IF Bjorkloven in the Swedish Second Division.

He has decent skating and has been touted by Swedish scout [[Thomas Gradin]] as being extremely mature:
{{cquote|As a kid, he’s not really a kid in that meaning, he’s a grown up person for being at that young age. You don’t really need to put a lot more muscle on this guy because he’s not a slim guy, but he skates well enough to play in this league, the new National Hockey League as they say. So the only thing that he might, that he will not do as of today is chip in on the PP. On the other hand you need to have the guys who play the penalty kill too. That’s how I see him anyhow today.}}
