Sure, it can help you calculate analytics in that you can review the game, but it doesn't do any calculations or provide any insight of the sort.
Snow even says that the team has to keep track of important stats that the system doesn't do.

This isn't to question you but just using your comment to bring up a question I have. If a system like Pucks is a game review application what are all of the other analytics or advanced stats, don't they use game reviews to build their stats? Pucks visually shows what happened and advanced stats put it on paper.
I think what Burke wants is an advanced stat that doesn't rely on past stats analysis only, as most of these are hugely reliant on how good the team is. Corsi as an example will tell you how good Hall and Eberle are in Edmonton but visual, or Pucks type breakdowns, will actually show how badly they play the NHL game.
