Flames are an inconsequential team. Why would anyone that doesn't have to, pick them as a favorite team? The glory years are so far in the past. They are the Tottenham Hotspur of hockey.
Not sure about the Spurs comment, but I had this same internal debate when I had my son. The kicker was I don't live in Calgary anymore, so who does my boy cheer for one day?

...my answer was to let him choose and with chatGPT and some disney level allegory one day he'll wonder why a pig named Edward M is the bad guy in all his stories.
