Yes. The only difference between a one-way and a two-way is that two-way deals pay a lower salary when the player is in the AHL. On a one-way, the player gets his NHL salary even if he's in the AHL.
Byron will need to clear waivers to play in the AHL (just as he did last season when he was on a two-way deal).
