Can someone that understands the CBA better than me explain this one?

in the 05/06 season, Weber was 9 games short of the 40 game requirement to give him a 7th accrued season like you mentioned.
That's why he'll be a UFA in the 2012/2013 season. That's when he'll have the 7 seasons to become a UFA.
