You can definately freeze squid whole, but if you bought (not caught) the squid, I would want to be quite sure that they are indeed fresh before you freeze them. In my experience squid are at least several days old by the time they get market, and I would have some reservations about freezing them if this were the case. I have a personal rule that if I can't freeze fish or squid within 24 hours of capture, then I don't freeze them at all.
Personally I like to clean my squid before I freeze them, that way when the time comes to thaw and cook them there is less work to do.
