At this point there is no way the Games could be moved, we are only 6months out. As for a boycott, that would suit the Russians just fine, more gold medals for them. An Olympic boycott may have been part of Putins motivation all along. I don't think, with the games so close, it would be fair to announce an all out boycott. However, should individual athletes wish to boycott, that would be fine, however no alternate would be allowed to take it.
The NHLPA could be a big player in this and I could see them encouraging a boycott by the NHL players. The "You Can Play" project is all about ending homophobia. The NHLer's are the highest profile athletes there and have the least to lose by boycotting the games.
