I assure you, Molag Bal might be able to trap a hellhound, but nothing can break them. Also, the daedra have a fairly long respawn time to return from the waters of oblivion.

It would cost Bal a lot of time and effort to tame a single hellhound. You put multiple into the situation, and that cost goes up a lot. Bal himself might be a daedric prince, but how rarely do daedric princes actively put themselves into the action? Even in oblivion the princes rarely bother to act of their own accord, letting their servants carry out their will.

Also, they aren't daedra, so they aren't immortal as daedra are. A hellhound get's killed, they stay that way. Why would a daedric prince put so much effort into getting something so abjectly fragile? Stick to mortals who give themselves to him and daedra who he controls.

TLDR: Yes, he could capture one, but it wouldn't be worth the resources to bother.
