Lanny's jersey was retired during a game against the Whalers. Vernon's was a game against Chicago (right when Chicago was one of the worst teams in the league). Nieuwendyk's was a game against the Islanders.
The MacInnis FAF ceremony was the only one held while the Flames were playing against another team the player played for and he had a front office job with the Blues, so it was likely the easiest way to schedule it.

Colorado? Played 3 seasons there plus maybe not the biggest draw.
