If that happens, do these players sue the NHL? Is that even possible.

The NHL made a decision to honour the monetary compensation of their contracts. Had they suspended without pay, or terminated the contracts for breach, it could be a possibility, but at this point they were made whole by the NHL and their teams.
Now the NHL is under no more obligation to pay them millions to play hockey than you are required to pay them millions to mow your lawn.
The fun issue will be when Edmonton tries to sign Carter Hart and he's still suspended.
