I believe that MacInnis wasn't interested in having his number retired by the Flames. He considers himself a Blue. And there was some hard feelings between the player and organization.

The Flames can retire whatever the hell numbers they want, they don't need a player's permission.
That said, it'll look reeeeeeeeeeal stupid if they retire a number and the player says "I refuse to come to the number retirement ceremony."
