I'd like to see Froome in a one day race, mostly because through the whole year of racing you get to see Froome alone for like 20 mins in total. He is shepherded around by such incredible teammates in the TdF that he's never isolated and so we rarely get a chance to see his race-craft. A classic would nicely bring this to the fore, though I can't think of a reason to ride them other than for others, not his, enjoyment.

Froome's more likely to potentially win World TT championships on hillier terrain, or a super hilly world road race. Maybe Lombardia one day?
He's been close to winning the Vuelta, so that would be a good pick for another big win other than the Tour.
Looking forward to seeing some of the newer GC favourites battle him, such as Dumoulin, should match or beat him on TT miles, and they'll be a keener battle on the climbs.
Froome will still have the edge on climbing I think, but will have to face the battering of the climbers like Barguil, Aru, Landa, Bardet.
