So how can you ever be in a situation where you can offer arbitration when they can still leave your team?
I know I'm missing something, but the I just read the manual and it doesn't make sense. Can someone explain to me in what situation compensation can actually happen?

You can offer arbitration after 6 years as well, but since they are eligible for free agency it almost never happens. A player is generally better off as a free agent. You have to offer arbitration and have the player decline it to be eligible to receive compensation picks. It works this way in real life too.
Hope that helps!
