Just out of curiosity I looked at the second picks. Recent history was rather surprising:
Seguin (2010)
Doughty (2008)
J. Staal (2006)
Malkin (2004)
After that there are players drafted 2nd but won with other teams
Tverdovsky (1994)
Pronger (1993)
Shanahan (1987)
Simpson (1985)
Muller (1984)
This goes back to 1984 where I stopped (because I want to go to lunch). Pretty much the same over the time span, but really a bunch recently.
