Do you actually believe that H-1B slots will no longer be filled at 90k/year?

I would wager a great deal that not only will all slots still be allocated but that demand will continue to far outstrip supply. The number of workers excluded from the US will be identical as to that under the previous rules but those granted H-1B visas will be paid closer to what their American colleagues are.

I would need more information. How many people apply for H-1B slots that can't be filled at 60k per year?

See: http://www.immi-usa.com/h1b-lottery-2016-results-chances-pro...

Almost 199k applications for 90k slots.
