No need to feel embarrassed. It's pretty convoluted. Basically, if the Flames 1st rounder is between 20-32 in 2024, the Habs can opt to take that pick. If it is 1-19, then it is protected. If they don't get the 2024 1st, they will get either Florida or Calgary 1st in 2025 unless it falls under the stated protection conditions. If they don't get the 2024 or 2025 picks because of the protection conditions, then they get a 2026 1st rounder, which could end up being a lottery pick.
Capfriendly has a summary of the conditions:

Scenario: In the event CGY receives FLA’s 2025 1st round pick:

Scenario: In the event CGY does NOT receive FLA’s 1st round pick:
Sub-scenario: CGY’s pick is NOT top 10:
1. MTL will receive the CGY pick, and
2. If FLA’s pick is not top 10, is a better pick than CGY’s, and was transferred to another team due to prior conditions, MTL will also receive CGY’s 2025 4th round pick. Result: TBD
Sub-scenario: CGY’s pick is top 10:
1. If CGY’s pick is 1st overall, MTL will receive CGY’s 2025 3rd, and the better of CGY and FLA’s 2026 1st round pick. Result: TBD
2. If CGY’s pick is 2nd to 10th, MTL receives CGY’s 2025 1st round pick. Result: TBD
