The Flames' mistakes were simple; they couldn't draft worth a **** for a good 20 years so they had to patch up the team with expensive acquisitions and/or other teams' junk.
Whether the Canucks have learned from that remains to be seen (early returns aren't great, though there are a few gems), but to suggest that building around the Sedins (or Iginla for the Flames) is the source of the problem is missing the mark IMO. It wasn't that long ago that people were writing off San Jose but look what injecting a couple of talented drafted players has done for them.
