I don't think Krakens are exclusively squids.. I mean, of course people say the legend of Kraken started from sightings of giant squids, and in 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea (mentioned by vman) it's clearly a squid too.
BUT, most of the times when you see a depiction of a Kraken, it's clearly a giant octopus..
Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken and see the images.
