The Sharks chose Karlsson over Pavelski basically. They gave Hertl a long term contract after missing the playoffs for three years and Granlund a 4 year contract after missing the playoffs for two years. Marleau and Thornton left to chase a cup.
I am not arguing that the Flames are in a better spot than them but that you can't point to them as an example of a team that proactively managed into a rebuild.
