We have downloaded the rosters, looked at each team, attribute, and counted skaters with attributes at 75 or higher. Goalies were not included. Long tables do not post well into articles, so here is a summary and if enough of you want the full table, I will e-mail it to Jeff to put it on as a link.
For each of the attributes, these are the team with the highest number of skaters at 75 or higher and the percentage by division.
CK - Checking: 9 players Bruins, Devils, Rangers, Canadiens, Sharks, and Stars. By division: NE 33%, SW 26%, NW 23%, SE 18%. Looks like there is alot of hard hitting in the NE and a bunch of floaters in the SE.
FG - Fighting: 13 players Canadiens and Capitals. 11 Rangers, Panthers, Thrashers, Red Wings, and Canucks. By division: SE 26%, NW 25%, NE 24%, SW 24%.
DI - Discipline: 16 players Avalanche, 15 Maple Leafs, 13 Kings, 12 Flames and Coyotes. By division: SW 28%, NW 27%, SE 23%, NE 22%.
SK - Skating: 16 players Flyers, 15 Bruins, 14 Flames and Blues, 12 Sabres and Devils. By division: SE 28%, SW 25%, NE 24%, NW 24%. While the SE may not hit, look out they can fly by you.
ST - Strength: 11 players Rangers, 10 Panthers and Ducks, 9 Hurricanes and Sharks. By Division: NE 26%, SW 26%, SE 25%, NW 23%. DU - Durability: 19 players Ducks, 18 Kings and Flames, 17 Islanders. By division: SW 26%, SE 25%, NW 25%, NE 24%.

FO - Face Offs: 5 players Devils, 4 Maple Leafs and Ducks, 3 Rangers, Hurricanes, and Stars. By division: 30% NE, 28% SW, 26% NW, 17% SE. A big gap between the NE and SE on this one.
PA - Passing: 6 players Bruins, Devils, Hurricanes, Flames, and Blues. 5 for Ducks, Kings, and Sharks. By division: SW 30%, NE 28%, NW 24%, SE 18%.
SC - Scoring: 7 players Flames, 6 Devils and Sharks, 5 Flyers, Blues, Ducks, Kings, and Stars. By division: SW 36%, NW 23%, SE 21%, NE 20%. It looks like there is an arms race for scorers in the SW.
DF - Defense: 12 players Ducks, 11 Kings, 8 Devils, 7 Flames and Stars, 6 Flyers and Sharks. By Division: SW 37%, NE 24%, SE 20%, NW 19%. It looks like a viscious cycle in the SW. Teams are loading up on high DF to counteract the high SC.
EX - Experience: 15 players Penguins, 14 Sabres, 13 Kings, 12 Blackhawks, 11 Rangers, 10 Maple Leafs. By division: NE 26%, NW 25%, SE and SW 24%. Stay away from these teams come playoff time.
