Yes, a team who buys out a player can't sign (or even acquire I believe) the same player for a year.
This is referring to a similar but different situation where a team trades a player, the player is bought out, and the team who originally had him re-signs him.
For example (teams and players arbitrary), if the Flames traded Glencross to Columbus and Columbus bought Glencross out right away, the Flames couldn't offer Glencross a contract for a year. Apparently.
