Technically Yes. But doesn't make a lot of sense to do that.
As an example, I have Zegras who is a 70 OVR. I have to bring him up because he is 20.
I have Ross Colton who is a 68 OVR and is 24. I'll keep him in the AHL for now just in case I get a similar guy at a similar price in Free Agency. But chances of that start to get slim. And as soon as there's an injury, I'd be calling him up and then having to waive him to send him back down...and he would not likely clear.
