Last year's NHL selections:
Atlantic
6Fs, 1D, 1G
Metropolitan
7Fs, 1G
Central
4Fs, 3D, 1G
Pacific
6Fs, 1D, 1G
I'm pretty sure they go with a combo of best/most recognizable player, regardless of position.
Even after the fan votes, Central had 3 D and the other divisions only had 1 each. Like, they don't even change the fan ballots to ensure balanced rosters (other than goalies -- the fan ballot was 2 skaters, 1 goalie from each division).
