I know this will probably be controversial, but the easy fix for this is for the league to suspend whoever is responsible for the slash.
I know it's not as blatant or as ugly as a blindside hit to the head, but if you commit an illegal play, and someone gets hurt, you should get suspended. And since we've got 1000 camera angles now at every game, the league could get these guys, regardless of whether a penalty was called on the ice.
I think it's s simple fix.
