in my opinion the best way to protect Gaudreau from slashes is to start mucking it up every shift if it starts happening.
You need the refs to have a rough game for them to start policing things more. If you make it hard on them to do their jobs by starting scrums after every whistle, hitting guys late, taking late shots, crosschecks on the ice, facewashes etc etc and are willing to take the inevitable penalties that will come, the refs will take notice and will start making calls to avoid having to deal with all the rest of the bull####.
