It's still possible even if you LSC to softcap post-event, but you'll probably need to have a lot of free time running expeditions.

Based on my experience from Spring 2016, you'll only need 900-1000 buckets at the very worst case scenario. You'll run out of resources (even at 200k+) long before you'll finish up your buckets (at which point you'll probably just give up and switch to lower difficulty, greatly reducing your bucket consumptions).
