I didn't understand this part:
9:32AM: LeBrun says that the new offer allows teams to have one compliance buyout prior to the 2013-14 season. It doesn’t count against the cap but it does count against the players share.
What does that mean exactly?

It won't count against the team's salary cap, but the player's 50% is impacted - the overall share that the players get. That part may not wash, especially if the buyout is for a player with a lot of years left.
